Rubik's Cube...

C&C appreciated.

I know it's not perfectly centered in the frame. My eyes were playing tricks on me when I cropped it... Bur otherwise???

What focal length? I think it would have been cool if all three sides appeared similar in size, closer to approximating an isometric projection?

I was using my Canon EF-s 17-85 @ 85mm for this I think... F16 with my camera shutter speed at 1/250th... also, I was using 2 x 400ws monolights... Unfortunately my PP skills are limited when it comes to altering perspectives... What lens should I have use? A longer focal length???

I recently heard a story on NPR about password protection. There were many thoughts on the subject, but one struck out in my mind. One of the callers said he numbered each square on a Rubik's Cube for his password. At his set interval for password change, he would simply twist the cube for his next password. Ingenious methinks.



The shot is okay, but the cropping is dubious.

If you wanted a more isometric perspective, where each of the angles were at 30°, then as long a lens as possible would be used.

I like how the black on the cube bleeds into the background, I wish the specular was removed to emphasize this illusion. I like thinking how a series of colored squares imply the toy and a cubic form.

hey here's a great opportunity to grow as a photographer, this is the bible of photographic illusionism, you should take a look at these amazing techniques ... it's foolish not to distinguish great opportunities, but wise to be seized ...

FFS, you have been reported.

Cool thanks...

Please explain why and how I can improve...

^^ because it's bottom heavy and people think that's a bad thing for no particular reason around here. They think that it's better for subjects to suffocate in their own space.

So you posted a solved cube...now post a cube in a state of confusion

You want me to post a picture of my head?

Ah I see...

The only time I saw my cube like that was when it was brand new!

I think this would be fine centered in a square crop.
